Pointillism (gcide) | Neoimpressionism \Ne`o*im*pres"sion*ism\
(n[=e]`[-o]*[i^]m*pr[e^]sh"[u^]n*[i^]z'm), n. (Painting)
A theory or practice which is a further development, on more
rigorously scientific lines, of the theory and practice of
Impressionism, originated by George Seurat (1859-91), and
carried on by Paul Signac (1863- -) and others. Its method is
marked by the laying of pure primary colors in minute dots
upon a white ground, any given line being produced by a
variation in the proportionate quantity of the primary colors
employed. This method is also known as Pointillism
(stippling).
